Hey guys!!  This is a post about the books that I've read by Philippa Gregory! First of all, let me tell you that she is one of my favorite authors as I am a huge fan of historical fiction and I love her writing style!

Her city as well as the whole planet deals with a deadly disease called letumosis and the evil Queen of Luna from the moon threatens to start a new war. Prince Kai has to make the wisest choice for the goo
